Torsion bar adjusters sticking way out of control arm?

Thanks for all the replies and help. We got it all back together tonight. I ended up using a set of stock adjuster bolts (and blocks). Turns out they are about 1/2 to 3/4 of an inch shorter than the adjuster bolts that came from Mancini. We cleaned up the stock bolts and blocks, lubed them up and it all went back together nicely! The bolts still stick out of the control arm a little more than I like but sounds like that is the way it is with the .920 bars.

Glad it worked out.

My old adjuster on that pictured LCA came out with a ratchet after I lubed them with Justice Brothers JB-80 penetrant lube. Then I used my recently purchased thread clean-up set to get the dirt out and straighten out the threads. Those are not meant to cut threads, just clean them without wearing/cutting the threads. Works awesome for a 48 piece $65 complete set.

Now with more JB-80 on the threads, the adjuster turns with my fingers!
